Salud y curación

Descripción

Even before she chose to follow a religious life, Elizabeth Ann Seton felt a strong sense of sympathy and charity toward the sick. Her father was a physician, and she saw firsthand the effects of epidemics such as tuberculosis, measles, and yellow fever had on the people of New York City, where she lived. She supported, and in some cases helped to found, charitable societies to help the sick, as well as those left widowed or orphaned by illness.
